A year ago, the city, the school district and a Wetumpka-based technology company collaborated to set up the system. The company, Information Transportation Services, used fiber-optic cables already installed by the city to link transmitters atop telephone poles across Piedmont.
Superintendent Matt Akin said the initial costs for the infrastructure were $100,000 for the school district alone. However, the monthly costs were $30,000.
A federal grant paid for 80 percent of the project during the first year, and the school district's match was $9,000. However, the city gave the school system $6,250 of the nearly $8,000 per month in fees it received from the company for use of the community's cables and poles.
But when school ended so did the grant, and city officials could only keep the system operating until July before they shut it down.
City technicians have met with representatives from the company to see if they can reach a compromise on the price. Jeff Drury, chief financial officer for Information Transportation Services, said the company can provide the service for somewhere between $17,000 and $20,000.
Further complicating things, however, the city stopped giving the schools the monthly $6,250 contribution despite having a three-year agreement to do so, Akin said.
Mayor Rick Freeman said he was unaware of the halted payments until last week. He said the line item earmarking the money for the schools was inadvertently left out of the budget.
Freeman said he's ready to talk to school officials and hopes to meet with them next week.
"We're going to get this taken care of as soon as possible," Freeman said.
Akin said he believes the community will come together to keep the system going for students. Since 2010, Piedmont's schools have issued each child in grades four through 12 a laptop computer, and the faculty has worked to incorporate the technology into classroom instruction.
Because of the program, the school district got attention from Harvard education researchers and received awards from groups like the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools.
But Akin said the district's education model depends on students going online.
"If you ask a teacher what made the difference, they'll say access," he said.
According to the superintendent, the school system partnered with Verizon to offer broadband cards to some of the students who live outside the city. The devices cost families $40 monthly, or $15 for students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. But the wireless system is crucial for many students living in the city.
Akin said that without a citywide Internet system, teachers will have to consider whether some students can get somewhere with free Wi-Fi access to do their work.
"My teachers don't have to worry about that and that shows up in our results," Akin said.

11/18/2010 - For three nights in October, PBS broadcast God in America, a six-hour documentary on the beginnings of the nation's religious evolution and how the intersection of religion and public life has played out over the past 400 years, forging America's ideals, molding its identity and shaping its sense of mission.
The Pew Charitable Trusts was the primary funder of the program, which The Washington Post called "commendably even-handed."
In conjunction with the documentary, the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life released the results of a survey on religious knowledge that had polled 3,412 adult Americans. While previous surveys by the Pew Forum have shown that America is among the most religious of the world's developed nations, the new poll showed that "large numbers of Americans are not well informed about the core teaching, history and leading figures of major faith traditions—including their own."
On average, Americans correctly answered 16 of the 32 questions in the poll. The study found that atheists and agnostics, who answered 20.9 correctly; Jews, who answered 20.5; and Mormons, who answered 20.3, outperformed evangelical Protestants, 17.6; Catholics, 16; and mainline Protestants, 15.8. Atheists, agnostics and Jews did particularly well on questions about the role of religion in public life.More on God in America, including details on purchasing the documentary on DVD, is at www.pbs.org/godinamerica. The Pew Forum's religious knowledge report and an online quiz with 15 of the survey questions are at www.pewforum.org.

One of my favorite features in the built-in TabExpansion in PowerShell is one that many (if not most) users are unaware of: the "#" hash mark.
In order to test this tip, you're going to need a command console that you've used and typed several commands into, so that Get-History will return more than a few different commands. Now, actually run the Get-History command so you can see the list of your last few commands.
The basic tip is pretty simple: if you type "#" and then hit the Tab key, PowerShell completes the full previous command-line.
You can also hit tab again to complete the next oldest command-line, and so on, right back to the beginning (it actually wraps around). You can even hit Shift-Tab to reverse direction if you go past the command-line you wanted. Additionally, this works on your history, so it even completes multi-line items. The one weird thing is that if you tab-complete past an item with multiple lines, the TabExpansion function doesn't realize the cursor's not on the prompt line anymore, so it doesn't quite redraw right, but it's mostly ok: the commands still work.
Of course, if that's all there was to this, I'd just have tweeted and gone back to preparing for my presentation at the Windows Server 2012 Launch Event in Rochester …
The really cool thing is that you can filter the feature. That is: if you type # and then the first few characters of some command-line in your history, when you hit tab you will get the most recent command-line that starts with those characters, and as before, you can hit tab repeatedly to cycle through all the commands in your history that match.
There's one more part to the hash-tab feature: numbers. If you know the history id of the command you want to type, you can type, for instance, #20{Tab} to complete the 20th command from your PowerShell session. It's basically the same as using "r" shortcut for invoke-history, except you hit tab after the number instead of space before, and you get to see the command (and edit it) before you press Enter.
So to sum up:
- hash-tab – completes command-lines from your history
- hash-txt-tab – filters your history like get-history | where { $_.Commandline -Like txt* }
- hash-id-tab – completes the command from history with the matching id

Which side won in the Chicago Teachers Union strike?
I've heard and been asked the question many times since the union suspended its seven-day walkout and its members returned to the classroom Wednesday. The easy, vague answer is that both sides won. The union and the school board can each point to significant concessions made by their adversaries across the negotiating table and to changes going forward that they're happy about.
But that's kind of like saying both sides won Thursday's game between the White Sox and the Kansas City Royals. After all, the Sox had more hits and fewer errors than the Royals, saw a great sliding catch by Gordon Beckham and got two-plus scoreless innings of relief pitching from Nate Jones. The Royals just happened to get one more run across the plate and so will go down in the record books as the winner.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
And if we must score this strike like a game, as the question implies, then I give the "W" to the teachers. The contract they're expected to ratify early next month gives them good raises over the next few years, limits the role of standardized testing in teacher evaluation, does not include a merit-pay program they didn't want and contains reasonable protections for good teachers who lose their jobs when schools shrink or close.
They hung together in the face of a new state law that was all but designed to prevent them from striking. And in an era when union power is declining all over, they were able to throw a big enough wrench into the spin machine of Mayor Rahm Emanuel that even as the strike wore on and even as their leader, Karen Lewis, became a more and more annoying presence, they were able to hold a significant lead in the public-opinion sympathy polls.
At the very least, the CTU beat the point spread.
Not that Emanuel was shut out: "Here's what we achieved," he said in a TV commercial that began airing when the teachers returned. "A full day for our kids, so they can meet their full potential. Principals will have the freedom to hire the best teachers. Parents retain the right to choose the best school for their kids. And for the first time, student achievement will be part of a teacher's evaluation."
Rather than raise minor quibbles about his wording — parental rights "to choose the best school for their kids" wasn't even on the table, for example — I'll raise the major quibble that such an attempt to claim victory or save face was poorly timed, at best. It came off more like a brandishing of the ol' whuppin' stick instead of an extension of the olive branch.
His op-ed in Sunday's Tribune, acknowledging the dedication of teachers and need for the administration and union "to see each other as allies, not adversaries," sounded a better note.
Better still would be an announcement from both sides that they're calling off the ad war — the union is making a similar though far smaller effort on the airwaves — and diverting those funds toward, say, buying window air conditioners for sweltering classrooms or paying for tutors, social workers or basic supplies.
Because the real question now isn't which side won — the game is over, the numbers on the scoreboard are blurry — but where do we go from here?
The winners will be those who decide to stop angling for advantage and start working together, setting aside their well-aired grievances and at least giving voice to the spirit of collaboration.
Run, Jesse Jr., run!
It will be an affront to democracy, a vile insult to the voters in Illinois' 2nd U.S. Congressional District if ailing U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. drops his bid for re-election and retires from politics before the November election.
Which is why I fully expect it to happen.
Jackson is clearly in a bad way. He's been on medical leave since early June battling bipolar disorder, and his people just announced that he's selling his home in Washington, D.C., in order to pay medical bills. There's much talk and concern that he's no longer able to serve in the House.
And while I hope that's not true and that his condition stabilizes enough to allow him to return to a productive life, I fear that, if it is true, he'll bow out shortly before the election and allow Democratic Party bosses (led by Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios) to handpick a replacement for him on the ballot. That person would be an easy winner in a very safe Democratic district.
It will be best for the voters if Jackson stays in, then resigns if he must after his inevitable victory so that a field of candidates can vie for the seat in a special election.
I'm guessing, therefore, that the pressure now on him to resign is intense.
And because what's best for the voters is so seldom on the political agenda, I'm not optimistic that he'll hang on.

my baby will be 4 weeks old this week. She has not done well on breastmilk due to a presumed low supply. She also has lost wt twice. I've tried pumping & only get 3oz total from both breasts regardless of how often I nurse or pump. She is on formula now & doing well. Has anyone else had this problem? I am wondering if I should just switch to formula full time or not.
My baby is 5 weeks old and I had the same problem @ 2 weeks old. He did very well while we were in the hospital but once we got home he got real fussy and was nursing all the time (1 -2 hours between feedings). I started formula for every other feeding and he was still acting like he was starving once I breastfeed. I was pumping in between feedings and I was only getting anywhere from 1oz - 2oz at a time and nothing I did changed that. We finally figured out that the baby was starving and he is up to 5 oz of formula as of time and we are probably going to have to increase that this week. (He was a 7lb when he was born but he only weighs about 8lb now at 5 weeks). If you do decided to go straight to formula don't feel like you have let her down. There is nothing wrong with formula feeding and the baby grow up to be just fine. My Ob/GYN told me that usually first time moms will end up formula feeding and there is nothing wrong with that. I was upset for a couple of days but I see now that my baby was starving and he is doing so much better on the formula. Good luck and I hyope this helps.
I had feeding problems too and was supplementing with formula early (in hospital). What kind of a pump do you have? I had a manual pump which is really not the best thing for frequent pumping, it can actually decrease your supply 'cos it doesn't get as much of the milk out, so your body thinks the baby needs less milk, so it makes less. By the time I figured that out via the pediatrician's nurse, the baby was 1 month old. I then rented a hospital grade pump for 1 month (from lactation supply store – your pedi's nurse should be able to recommend where to go for rentals), and this was much better for getting my supply up (although I still had to supplement with formula because we were so far behind). I still wound up having problems breastfeeding him on one side, so in the end I decided to pump and feed until the month's rental was up, gradually weaning him off. Therefore at 2 months old my baby son went on formula full-time. I was feeling bad at first but just like Kellymwebster, my OBGYN also said not to worry and that the majority of first-time moms have feeding problems. In my case, I really liked the hospital grade pump and I'm glad I did that so I could give him a bit longer on breastmilk than I otherwise would have (although, it is not cheap - about $70 per month for top of the line, less for simpler hospital-grade models – but then you definitely save on formula costs so it's not all that bad either, plus it's much faster & easier than pumping with a manual, and the convenience/time factor is truly a help with a young baby). If you have been pumping on a manual and are not ready to go to full-time formula, then maybe renting a hospital-grade pump (either short or longer-term) could be a good option for you. But like Kellymwebster said, switching to full-time formula now is also OK. It's whatever you think is best for your situation.
Well, in order to build up a supply, you must nurse on demand in the early weeks. Oh, and 1-2 hours between breastmilk feedings is completely normal, especially for a newborn. You have to remind yourself that their bellies are TINY and don't hold much and breastmilk digests quickly since it is made especially for human babies, they use it all. Oh, and pumping is not an indicator of how much milk you are making, a pump does not get milk out as efficiently as a baby does, the sucking motions are quite different. 3 oz total from both with a pump is actually pretty impressive with a 4 week baby.
You need to choose what is right for you and your baby. if you really want to breastfeed and feel it is the best choice for y'all, you can do it, you just need to drink lots of water and nurse as often as possible; it takes about 2-3 days for your breasts to adjust to demand. If you are feeling formula is the best option for y'all, then by all means, go that way. There is no guilt. Breastfeeding doesn't always work out as sweetly and serenely as we've pictured it. My first child was formula fed and my last two were exclusively breast fed.
Much love Mama, no stress, no worries.
yeah my supply is lower than at the beginning. i pump as well, but my doctor informed that the baby has to nurse the nipple in order to get more milk supply. dont ask me how but he said that the babies suck is different from the pump and to at least put the baby on the breast every two hours and that lets the breast know it needs to produce more milk. my daughter is on both breast and formula milk and she's growing extremely fast. you just got to be patient cause its a process. and your baby losing weight at the beginning of life is definately normal, so i wouldn't worry you will do fine
I have had the same issue and never got more than 2 oz when pumping. I started supplementing with formula and got to 100% formula a few days ago. I am sad about not breastfeeding, but could not endure the insecurity of wondering if my baby was getting enough to eat , nor the time of pumping to get so little for my effort.
I had my son on 5-28-09, and at first, thought my milk was NEVER going to come in! My son was 8 lbs. 14 oz. at birth, and up to 9 pounds now. Since he is such a big boy, he expects alot of food at one time and is often not satisfied with just the breast. He will nurse often and then cry like he's still hungry. I have been supplementing with formula and it seems to be going well for us that way. I will actually let him nurse and if afterwards he still seems hungry, then I will formula feed him. The most I have gotten at one time with a pump is 2 1/2 oz, and it does seem like a very minute amount compared to what he is actually eating. I will, however, try to continue pumping and see what happens!
My wife had a low supply with our second daughter, and we supplemented with formula which left her very discouraged. As a father, I felt terrible for my wife because she felt like she was letting everyone down. While I heavily support breastfeeding, I wanted to let her know that the most iomportant thing is the health of the baby and that it wasn't her fault if baby wasn't getting all she needed from the breast. The other problem we had is that baby began to use my wife as a pacifier. She wouldn't really be eating but would sleep while feeding and would wake up the moment she was taken off. This led to exhaustion for my wife, so we were forced at that point to supplement. I guess what I am saying is that your circumstances can change on a daily basis, so do what you feel you have to for your baby and move forward with a clear conscience knowing that you are trying your best! That's all parents can do.
I had the same problem with my baby. I also was giving her formula and breast milk, since the hospital. Now she is almost 9 months, I breast feed her till 4 moths and she is a very healthy baby.
Normally in the bigining you will not have a lots of milk, but according to the stimulation you will start to produce more and more. The best thing to do is to try feed your baby as much as you can (on her regular shedule). Pumping after feeding also helps to stimulate the production. Drink a lots of watter. Even if you are giving formula, do not stop breastfeeding. :-) Just remember, less you give less you will be producing. Good luck.
I had the same problem......my supply never really came in no matter what I did!!! But as it turned out my daughter has a protein sensitivity and actually can't take my breast milk!! We had a horrible night where she cried and had horrible colic for almost 10 hours..and she couldn't take the regular formula either!!!
I wouldn't feel bad about going to formula.....my daughter has done wonderful once we found the right formula for her and she was 2 months old yesterday!!!
As long as you give her what you can don't feel bad about suppementing. In todays world you would have to stay home for 3 months to keep up with the demands of the baby.
I feed my baby as much breast milk as I can but, I don't feel bad when I give her formula. If she is hungry and I haven't had 2 hours between the feeding time, my daughter is hungry cuase they digest the breast milk so fast.
What I do is I feed her the night feedings around 3:00AM breast milk then she is up about 5:00-5:30 and I feed her breast milk again. she sleep for about 2 more hours but the by that time I am exhusted and my husband gives her 2 to 3 oz of formula.
I eat breakfast and I feed her again when she is hungry. Then about 3 in the afternoon she gets 2-3oz of formula.
I did this with both my other kids too. You don't it to become where you can't bottle feed the baby if you have to or, if there is an emergecery they won't eat formula at all.
My sister's milk dried up and she did everything the doctors told her. Everyones body is different.
Just listen to the cues that your baby gives you and go from there.
(My baby is 12days old today and she is my 3rd)
Good Luck and don't feel bad as long as your baby is getting nutrion the baby will be fine.
As a side note my mother had 5 of us and she bottle feed us all. (she actally says to me and my sisters why are you breatfeeding?)
The best thing to do is whatever works best for you and the baby!!
Best Wishes.

Chez Nous, a Mission Impossible?
Chez Nous is a story about friendship focussing on a group of friends who resort to a Mission Impossible-style diamond heist to save their favourite café from bankruptcy. This heist is set against the backdrop of Amsterdam's famous canal parade. Of course, some pretty impossible stuff has to happen to make all of this possible – and this is where the VFX come in.
Do you like it RAW?!
Remember shooting your feature on film stock? For most of us it's a long time ago and some of us even forgot how 35 mm negative looks like. The digital age has taken over, cinema's are projecting computer files and all we worry about are the hard drives that carry our precious content. Strange how things have changed in so little time.

Flowers have showed up in mythology all as far and wide as possible. Certain flowers have stories connected with them and hence bear critical in their individual society and convention. Give us a chance to have an understanding on flowers convey legendary centrality.
Anemone: This flower connected with the destruction of Adonis, a demigod of excellence, holds an unique importance in Greek mythology. The myth states that Aphrodite, the Goddess of affection, cherished Adonis significantly. Nonetheless, Adonis kicked the bucket at an early age throughout a hog chase. Aphrodite grieved and yelled seeing her darling drain to death. While Adonis lay in her arms, she sprinkled Adonis' blood with nectar, from which rose dark red shaded anemones. Later, Christians likewise received this flower and accepted that the red shade of the flower symbolizes the slaughter by Jesus Christ throughout torturous killing.
Hyacinth: According to the Greek mythology, Hyacinth was the significant other of God Apollo. The point when Hyacinth passed on, another flower sprang from the blood stained earth. Apollo named the new shaped flower as hyacinth and charged a three-day celebration out of appreciation for his companion.
Rose: For the old Romans, this flower was an embodiment of magnificence and an image of death and resurrection. Christians partnered the flower with Mary, the mother of Lord Jesus. Some individuals still jump at the chance to know Mother Mary as a Mystic or Holy Rose.
Sunflower: According to Greek mythology, sunflower rose up out of a princess called Clytie. Sun God Apollo and Clytie cherished one another. Nonetheless, when Apollo deserted Clytie, she lamented abundantly. For a few days and nights she sat on a rock viewing Apollo as he drove his chariot from east to west. Apollo felt pity for her and changed her into a flower known as the sunflower.
Lotus: Lotus discovers a notice in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. In Hindu mythology, it is the home Lord Brahma. According to Buddhist mythology, Lord Buddha initially seemed cruising on a lotus. When he strolled on earth, he deserted lotus flowers rather than foot shaped impressions. Old Egyptians accepted that Goddess Isis rose up out of a lotus flower.
Yoga is a series of exercises that are aimed at relieving stress and connecting an individual to their inner being. It has great teachings that include observing certain diets and practicing a series of exercises that increase body flexibility, strength, and agility. Weight loss is mainly achieved through exercise and a reduction in calorie intake so that the body reduces the amount of fat stored under the skin. Yoga for weight loss and muscle gain is a great strategy since it makes an individual conscious of their inner body processes. When the desire to lose weight is from an informed point of resolution, the individual is more likely to achieve the desired weight loss results faster than an individual who just decides to take on a weight loss program, but does not follow a program like yoga.
Yoga requires an individual to set aside a considerable amount of time like 2 hours for exercise and meditation every day. This creates a sense of discipline in an individual. Weight loss requires consistency in vigorous exercise and so when a person practices yoga for weight loss they consistently dedicate enough time for the weight loss program. This is a great way to approach weight loss since it ensures dedication and discipline which are the areas where most people fail in the weight loss program. Yoga poses enhance flexibility in a person's body. The determination of a person pursuing yoga for weight loss will see them put more effort in their exercises so that they can manage to pose in the complex positions. Yoga also enhances breathe control which is essential for a person who is exercising. A person who can control their breathing can exercise for longer and this helps them to lose weight faster.
Yoga poses involves concentrating one's focus at one part of the body like the abdomen or the arms. Such a process consumes a high amount of energy which eventually leads to loss of weight since the body uses more energy that the individual ingests through feeding. Consequently, the metabolism rate in the body is enhances and the weight loss process starts showing results as fats on the limbs is burned up and replaced by muscle.
Weight loss results are realized when the spirit and the body work together to achieve the target. Yoga involves the spirit and the body and this happens by promoting good health and proper feeding as well as vigorous exercises and this package is all that is required for a successful weight loss plan.
The newest rage in the weight loss niche is juicing. It can be seen on almost every form of media and has been endorsed by a lot of celebrities as well as respected figures in the weight loss industry. The main advantage of juicing for weight loss is the nutrition that it gives the human body thereby allowing it to help in rejuvenating its cells and removing toxins.

You can the most nutritious drink that will assist you in getting rid of the extra weight. The results have been astonishing even for the researchers who have long been looking for a healthy way of shedding pounds.
Fiber is one of the most important ingredients that you can get from fruits and vegetables. It helps to facilitate the removal of waste from the body so it can process the food that is taken in and turn it into nutrients. Apples, pears and bananas have the highest fiber content among the fruits. If you drink one fruit or vegetable juice prior to any meal, you will appease your hunger as well as decrease any craving for food that will make you fat.
Green leafy vegetables are the best ones to juice if you want to cleanse your body. This is to ensure that your colon and stomach is ready to absorb all the nutrients you are taking in.
There are a lot of choices and combination that you can do when you are juicing for weight loss. It is up to you to experiment on which one will suit your taste.

A magnificent George III serpentine bombe commode of outstanding colour and patina, in the manner of John Cobb. The harewood ground inlaid throughout with the finest marquetry, each panel centred with a classical vase adorned with stylised silk ribbons trailing branches of roses, forget-me-nots and harebells, cross banded in tulipwood with boxwood stringing. The whole mounted with fine ormolu.In the manner of John Cobb.This colourful 'commode-table' is conceived in the French/antique manner introduced in the 1760s for the window-piers of fashionable reception dressing-rooms. Thomas Chippendale promoted such beautiful 'French Commodes', with the third edition of his , Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1762; and being intended for decoration rather than use, they were later considered appropriate also for Drawing Rooms.This example is inlaid with the most graceful sprays of flowers and classical urns in the manner of Robert Adam. These would have originally been stained a number of different colours but have now faded to a mellow golden colour. Although tentative, the attribution to Cobb is in part due to the close similarity between the inlay on this commode and the inlay on other commodes attributed to him.

Strangest Christian Products and Signs
Repent! The End of Good Taste is at Hand
All the inspirational merchandise and signage displayed below, no doubt, was created with the best intentions in mind, but few other considerations (such as good taste?). Most of them are aiming to induce "instant faith" or "instant cleansing" or other "instant some-such". In most cases, though, they only produce an immediate question "What were they thinking?"
(image credit: 3robbers)
"God Beverage" - consists of mostly coffee (we have to agree with that) -
(image credit: Alex Mack)
"Believe in God Instantly" breath spray has already become a classic:
(a minty solution for all your troubles)
(image credit: merch-bot)
"Wash Away Your Sins" air freshener, with a similar idea:
(image credit: John Bullas)
"Omnipotent" cleaner is probably omniscient, as well -
(image credit: Pippa Buchanan)
"Seed of Samson"... eh, seed bars -
(image credit: Buddy Stone)
Some Christian toy-makers should pray more often, as their products clearly lack in good taste and can not possibly entice religious fervor:
(image credit: Taylor)
Deluxe Miracle Jesus -
(image credit: Eddie Dowds)
I doubt this atrocity would ever answer -
(image credit: mattplace)
Jean-Paul II Barometer (changes color, you know) -
(image credit: biker's web)
And in case you were wondering, how they even sell that stuff - here is a sort of instruction:
(image credit: CampOn)
From abominable merchandise, we continue to other strange signs of deep devotion. What follows is, actually, a pretty neat and original project:
LEGO Church Masterpiece
Amy Hughes has created a lasting piece of LEGO awesomeness - with incredible amount of detail (every "special guest" has a story, and the whole thing was created in the loving memory of her cat "Precious"). It took a year and a half to plan and build it, with many pieces obtained in bulk from LEGO stores. Check out all different angles at this page.
(images credit: Amy Hughes)
For the whole story of the Bible made with LEGO, see this site: The Brick Testament
By the way, if you ever wondered what LEGO fans mean when they say "Dark Ages": it's a term to describe the years between putting down LEGO as a child and picking it back up as an adult.
There are many "Jesus-mobiles" in existence, all unique and strange in varying degrees - and perhaps a subject for separate post. Here is just one example:
(image credit: Brian)
Nearby is the "Salvation Mountain" (Niland, Imperial County, California)
(image credit: Brian)
The Award for the Most Miserable Nativity Scene in the World, goes to this structure:
(image credit: Will Jennings)
Check your Rapture Index (online):
Apparently, the "rapture index" of this cat is "through the roof" -
(image credit: Nobiiru)
Finally, perhaps you might tell us, what on earth ARE these bloated white things, displayed at one Christian Bookshop? -
(image credit: Louise Oldfield)
T-Shirts that caught our eye
Some of them are interesting enough to attract attention:
(image credit: Erika N)
As a foot note: "If there's MySpace in your afterlife, you didn't go to heaven."
Speaking of MySpace, in this life - here is a pretty cool Christian MySpace theme
(designed by these radical T-shirt guys) -
(image credit: c28)
Jesus as Starbucks Lady??
(images credit: J. D. Harper)
Some of the t-shirts are simply too weird:
Can't make up your mind? Then wear these:
I don't know what's worse -
Signage that's truly "not of this world"
And sometimes not with a lot of sense, either. How would you like to drive behind a truck that asks you "Are you ready to meet Jesus?" Er... not yet!
(image credit: Sebastian J. Bauer)
You'd feel pretty comfortable behind a car with "God in it" -
(image credit: Badger 23)
Signs and billboards with pretty heavy meaning:
(image credit: John Evans)
(image credit: Armante)
And I have to admit, this one is absolute classic:
(image credit: Billboardom)
"O ye of little faith!"... If walking on water is a miracle, then driving on water should be doubly so:
What does a Christian restaurant look like in Shinjuku, Tokyo? Here is "Christon Cafe"' interior:
(image credit: Adrian Bailon)
An idea for Steve Jobs?
(image credit: Gary Paulson)
(image credit: Sixteen)
Some other interesting quasi-religious occasions:
The definition of tolerance:
Hold On!
Well, regardless of our blunders and feeble attempts at advertising, it's pretty obvious that there are larger forces at play in our Universe... Let's just hope they have the sense of humour! -

"Tremble" does not have the sense of "Be afraid". It simply means "aspen" in French and is probably just an indication of the tree species along a forested path.

The nuns are part of a set - 'Racing Nuns'. You pull them back and they move forward; I have some.

That truck has "are you ready to meet Jesus" on the wrong side! (At least for American trucks!) Or perhaps the right side should simply add... "Now?"

And if you want to buy any of these 'wonderful' items, this bus can take you there: http://tinyurl.com/2bbb6m

It's a fantastic line up.
I'm also wondering why they use the French name 'Jean' for the pope, while the man actually was Polish (which would make something like Johannus), while he was in fumction in Rome (Giovanni) and the money value is in english Pound (John).

One of my friends has the pink magic 8-ball Jesus. It makes for much late-night amusement-- when asked "should we make cookies tonight?" it responded with "hallelujah!"

I'm surprised no one's sent you these sculptures, which were in a window display of a local bookstore. I could only find these two links to pictures of them -- one was just taken with a cellphone camera, the other has been Photoshopped. But you get the idea.

Ooh, but how could you leave out Nunzilla?

What does it mean that the Deluxe Miracle Jesus action figure is right next to the Freddie Mercury action figure?
FLASH! Aaahhh!, He's a Miracle!

I'm adding you to my favorites column. And I do own the Wash Your Sins Away lip balm....it's a long story. It's old-red-wine flavored.

Priceless, if horrifying. Incidentally, the "white bloaty things" I figured out: they're those weird beanbag bookmarks for putting in your bible, I guess so you won't lose your place while you're genuflecting.
And the "Gay black Jewish klansmen for peace" was an idea conceived by Julian Thomas Reid, who lives, oddly, not farm from Smyrna, Georgia but was, in fact, in no way involved. Loved the purple robes with green stars of David!
Julian, by the way, is not black or gay; just Jewish.

Love these photos. All in one place too. Thanks for sharing.

I cannot remember the last time I spent so long on a blog. You have some very interesting stuff here. I enjoyed my visit.

I'm still rolling around after seeing the Crusaders costumes! So funny and so ridiculously wrong.

siguen vendiendo a Dios... no se porque? gracias por las imágenes justo me sirvió para algo que ví el día de hoy

Could those "blasted white things" be ... geoducks?
- said...
If it weren't for cyd watts confirming the existence of the Gay black Jewish klansmen for peace, I would have assumed them to be fake, after reading the fine print below which says: Spoungebob Squarepants fan club meetings in Tyron's mom's basement Every Wednesday at 7:30PM

Love the iGod billboard. Confirms my belief that placing the letter 'i' before any product name is a surefire way to attract idiots!

Thank you for making me laugh and reinforcing the idiocy of religion.

Low Price Guarantee
If you need to carry some gear around with you but don't want to spend a
saddle bag full of money to do it, then these SD216 or SD217 saddlebags could be
the perfect solution.
These bags measure 18 x 9.5x7 inches, and are made from a material called PVC,
or polyvinyl chloride. This is the same super tough material that pipe is made
out of but with plasticizers added to make it soft and flexible. What that means
to you is you get the look and feel of leather but at a fraction of the cost. To
be clear, this is a value priced set of saddlebags. Is PVC as durable as top
grain leather? No. Do these have all the features found on a high dollar set of
OEM saddlebags? Of course not. Are they worth at least double their price?
These bags are an adjustable throw over style bag and are available with or
without the studs. The 216 is without studs and the 217 has them covering the
top and sides of the lid and around the bottom of the face of the bag. Both
versions sport easy carry handles on their lids, and added metal d rings offer
additional mounting support. As with all throw over style saddlebags, saddlebag
mounting brackets like the Saddlebag Support Bracket A kit are highly
recommended. These brackets will offer an additional place to secure the bags
using the d rings and keep them from getting pulled into the wheel when full.
Once mounted, they can be easily removed from the bike without removing the yoke
by simply zipping them off. Another item to consider when purchasing would be
some waterproof saddlebag covers. This bag's lid design makes it water
resistant, but without a cover, water can get into the bag in heavy rain. If you
open up the bags using the quick release buckles, you can see they have a semi
rigid layer of plastic laminated between the layers of pvc and a ribbon of metal
at the opening to help the bags keep their shape.

Taj Mahal Travel – Mysterious, Magical, Historical and Natural
Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful monument and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In 1631 the emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife Mumtaz. It is India's most recognized monument of the world. The beauty of this superb monument is such that it is beyond the scope of words. The very first sight of this monument, the epitome of love and romance leaves one mesmerized.
The construction of this wonderful building started in 1931 that takes 22 years and finally completed in 1653. 20,000 labour worked day and night to complete this milky marble tomb. It designed by Ustad Ahmad Lahori and percian architect. Its superb, wonderful and aesthetic beauty hypnotize its viewers. Her body is inside the monument, together with that of the emperor.
The purity of the white marble, the delicate embellishment, costly gemstones used and its picturesque location, all make Taj increase a place amongst the most popular ones. This supreme temple of love, standing gracefully by the sacred Yumana at Agra, has become the monument of a man's love for a woman. The Taj Mahal tour of Agra is thus truly enthralling and visitors are charmed by the beauty and glory of such a great work of art. Tourists in large numbers flock at the venue of the monument.
It's beauty is sure to cast a magic spell on you forever. There is no other tombstone in the world, which can match the splendor and grandeur of this monument. The color of the Taj changes with every change that takes place in the sky. The golden pink Taj at dawn turns into dazzling white at noon. Giving way to the sultry orange at sunset is the milky blue at night. Viewing the Taj on Full moon nights is a blissful experience. No wonder then, the Taj Mahal is the most sought after destination by a foreign traveler. The reflections of the Taj in the water pond in front of it or in the Yamuna waters in the back are some of the breath taking views.

100 S Murphy Ave, Sunnyvale, CA | Directions 9408637.377305 -122.029882
Neighborhoods: Heritage District
Really Good Food With A Vide Variety Of Choices – We came in on a friday night, a group of 6, me and my wife and two other couples and we heard good stuff about delmonte restuarant so we dicided to give it a try. We got a table right away and the service was prompt. We got a young gentleman as out waiter that was very friendly that recommened a Croatian Wine and we took his word for it and it was excellent, a little different from your typical wines. We ordered appetizers and we took the Dalmation Platter and Cevapicic(Spelling?). The platter was home dryed Proschuto and Asiago cheese served with olives and anchovies. The Cevapicic were little meat saussages, almost like kabobs, very tasty. For our entrees we ordered Salmon, A WholeFish, Rac k Of Lamb, Filet, Seafood Pasta, and i had the Pork Chops. Everythign was excellent, nothign was left, the food was excellent, we all shared and it was great. For dessert we had a Soufle and Tiramisu. Those were good too. All in all, i would give in 9 out of 10, Food excellent, service was good, all in all a good restuarnt and we will defidently be back.
Unwelcoming restaurant and for locals only – Only go to this restaurant if you are on first name terms with the owner/staff, have no children. If you want good food and want to be ignored to the point of thinking you have some personel hygiene problem, this is the place for you. The waiting staff appear to go out of their way to not get their tip and the owner seems to resent your very presence.
If you're thick-skinned, and thrive in a cold ambience, but like good food, go to Del Monte's and at least you will save on the tip.
Smashing – good restaurant with a vide variety on the menu and good food. cant go wrong
User review by skitly35 – My husband and I decided to go to Del Monte on a Friday night. It is a nice small resaurant. I had the chicken del monte and my huysband had the filet mignon the food was amazing. There portions were large and the sauce was spetacular. Our server was a polite young man. They gave us free dessert. I would highty recomend this restaurant.
What A Place – Del Monte Restaurant is my favorite restaurant by far. Its a mix of croatian and italian. I live in Los Altos and it is worth the drive! Its a small little restaurant, family run, not one of those big chains that only care about how many people there are. They treat you as if you are family. I ordered the Rack of Lamb and it was excellent, my wife had the whole fish dalmation style(something you dont find other places). I recommend this place to all my family and friends and you should too.
Worst dining experience ever - Stay Away! – The prices I thought were very reasonable, the food was good. Except for the middle of my wifes medallions were red, and she ordered them medium well. The mashed potatoes were dry and cold. The vegetables were cold also. My waiter was a very polite young man.
The manager must have been the owners son. This guy was the biggest jerk I have ever seen. His tone of voice was that of he comes from a street gang. VERY immature! I was appalled. I have never seen anything even remotely close to such a snotty young man in restaurant business, anywhere.
Place was moslty empty. and it was a Saturday night. I work nearby, and it is always mostly empty at lunch. I see why!
Stop reading this, and go now! – We moved from Sunnyvale, and regret no longer having the Del Monte within walking distance. The owners are European, and have a wonderful menu blending Croatian, Italian, Hungarian, and continental favorites. I love steak, and they have a medallions of beef dish with a bernaise sauce that is pure heaven. Their pasta dishes are terrific as well, especially the spinach tortellini. I have had French onion soup all over the world, and the Del Monte's is the best I've had. I miss this place. You should go there immediately.

How is the software distributed
OhioGisNet and Over 10,000 FTE Four-Year Schools
At the time they begin participation in the statewide site license, institutions which are larger than 10,000 FTE have the opportunity to select a set of initial deliverables, i.e. a copy of the software listed above, which will be sent to them directly. After that point, new releases and updated versions of the software will be sent to the institution as long as it continues to participate in the site license program.Other Schools
For all two-year schools and four-year institutions with less than 10,000 FTE, copies of the software needed must be obtained from the OhioLink distribution web site, one of the OhioGISNet schools, or a copy of the software on CD-ROM or diskette media may be bought directly from ESRI.
How is technical support provided
OhioGisNet and Over 10,000 FTE Four-Year Schools
Four year institutions with more than 10,000 FTE who participate will automatically receive two technical support contacts with ESRI. These are two individuals who can contact ESRI to obtain technical support services.Other Schools
All two-year schools and four-year institutions with less than 10,000 FTE schools may designate one GIS specialist who can contact the GIS Specialists at OhioGISNet schools for technical assistance and training. Alternatively, schools can also purchase additional technical support contracts from ESRI. These cost $1,000 per year for one contact.For All Schools
Successful implementation of the ESRI software requires the appointment and development of a person(s) who can provide technical support to the campus. These individuals should take ESRI training when needed and work with ESRI or OhioGISNet schools to answer questions that they are not able to answer.
What will it cost me to participate?
Non OhioGisNet Four-Year Schools
For four-year institutions, the cost of participation is $0.49/FTE per year.Other Schools
For all two year instutions the cost per FTE is half the four year rate, or about $0.25/FTE per year.For All Schools
There can be additional costs for an institution if that institution also chooses to buy technical support services or additional copies of software media and documentation. Institutions that wish to use Arc/INFO on Windows NT will need to purchase hardware keys for that purpose. Each hardware key costs $30 and can be used on a single Windows NT system or attached to a Windows NT server and shared by allWindows NT systems in the same domain.
The contract year runs from July 1 to June 30. Institutions can join any time during the year and the cost will be prorated. Institutions will be given credit for any current maintenance payments they have made to ESRI, not payment for copies of software programs. Payment for the annual participation fee is made to OhioLINK. Additional copies of software media or documentation are purchased directly from ESRI.
Who can participate?
Any OhioLINK full or participating member institution can participate.
Who can use the software and where?
Faculty, students, staff, and administrators of the institution may use the software. The software may be used off campus by faculty members, but students may only use the software on campus.
Are there other important responsibilities taken on by the institution who participates in this site license
Record Keeping
Each participating institution is responsible for maintaining records of the distribution of ESRI software on its campus. The institution must keep track of what software is installed and where. The inventory number, host name, or serial number of the computer must be noted.Monitoring Software Use
The institution is reponsible for ensuring that members of the campus are following the terms and conditions of the site license. The institution is responsible for ensuring that all copies of the ESRI software on its campus are destroyed if the site license is terminated and the institution does not enter into a new site license agreement with ESRI after termination of the OhioLINK license program.Destruction of Software on Contract Termination -
The institution will be responsible for making sure that all software is destroyed upon termination of its participation in the OhioLINK license program unless provision is made to continue licensing ESRI software directly from ESRI or through some other mechanism.
